Very Detailed picture guide

This guide has more detail than any travel book I've ever read. Details on art, literature and architecture. Pictures and diagrams are interesting and colorful. This book may not be too practical though. The accommodation and restaurant sections are difficult to read as they don't have the color all the other sections have. Still it's a great guide and you could get a feel for Prague without even going there.

This is an amazing guidebook!

I bought this book before a trip to the Czech Republic. As I read it, I discovered that I couldn't have made a better choice in travel guides. This book is crammed with pictures and facts. It covers the city in every detail, from its history, to its artists, and even its architecture. It is laid out very well in an easy-to-read fashion with myriads of colorful pictures exploding from every page. The book is a fascinating read even if one doesn't plan on visiting Prague.
